Needham Market's first ever season in the Vanarama National League North will kick off with a trip to Curzon Ashton on Saturday 10th August - who finished seventh in the division last season.
Kevin Horlock's side will then host Southport in their first step 2 game at Bloomfields the following Saturday, followed by another home tie against former EFL side, and last season's runners up in this division, Scunthorpe United on Tuesday 20th.
The opening month then sees a trip to Radcliffe on the Saturday (24th), before welcoming Alfreton Town to Suffolk two days later, on Bank Holiday Monday, while the Reds will end the month away to Warrington Town on Saturday 31st.
The festive period sees us host Darlington on Saturday 21st December, before a trip to fellow East Anglian side, and Kings Lynn Town on Boxing Day.
We then begin 2025 against another familiar opponent, from previous seasons in the Southern League, in Peterborough Sports at home on New Year's Day, followed by another successive home fixture on Saturday 4th January against our opening day opponents Curzon Ashton.
The final month of the season sees the Marketmen set to travel to Spennymoor Town on Saturday 5th April, before hosting another familiar old league opponent in Rushall Olympic on Saturday 12th. Good Friday (April 18th) then sees us travel to Peterborough Sports, ahead of hosting Kings Lynn Town on Easter Monday (21st).
